Caring for "OId Mas'r.' -

A letter to the New York Times tells
of srare instance of negro friendship in
Wilkinson County, Ga.
Before the war one of the proudest
slave-owners in that section was Colonel
Downing. He was the owner of large
tracts of land, as well as of a number of
slaves. When the troubles of 1860 came
on he was the rankeSt secessionist in the
country. The struggle left him land
poor. Acre by acre he sold it off, being
unable to square himself with the new
land was gone and his family were
dead, he was afflicted with blindness and
was in danger OF being put into the
county poerhouse. They must not do
that with old master" said Joe Down
ing. Joe and his brother Peter were
the slaves of Colonel Downing before the
war, and always went under his name.
While their old master was going down
in the world these two colored men were
hard al work and saving money. They
purchased $50 acres of rich land, built
comfortable house, accumulated live
stock and farming implements and had
good credit at the bank here. To this
home they took their old master, in
stalled him in the best rooms, and COM
PEELED all the people around to treat him
with The utmost respect. Lately Col0nei
Downing has been fearing that his death
was approaching, and seemed to be fear
full that he might he buried as pauper.
To ease his mind on the matter the
brothers have just deposited in bank
here 800 to be held until the old mans
death with which to pay all funeral ex.
penses.

The Financial Review.

New YORK, January c9.-The gen.
eral perturbation and uncertainty
which prevailed outside of financial
circles both at home and abroad dur
ing the past week were accurately re-
fected in Wall street markets. Specu-
Iation passed through many varying
phases. The most patent factors at
work were the political agitation in Eu-
rope, the spread of labor strikes, with
their INJURIOUS influence on our export
trade. and the sharp rise in foreign ex-
change, which was naturally the con-
sequence of the Preceding circum-
stances. Supplementary to these was
the Interstate commerce bill, whose
fate which was generally supposed TO
be decided by the manner of its passage
by the House, again became matter of
surmise, and doubt on the announce
ment that the President hesitated to
act until he had obtained an opinion
from the Acknowledgement as
to its constitutionality. There were
a few bright spots to the situa-
ton, such as easy money,
increased railroad earnings, and favor
able progress in the spring trade, all of
which would exercise beneficial effec
on value not of exchange, but on the
disturbing elements just mentioned.
London opened weak with a tremen-
dous war scare, and sold large amounts
of stocks here, about $4,000 shares in
the aggregate. The result then was
decline, ranging from to 5 points, and
almost a sharp rally Immediately after
wards, when The conclusion was
reached that the scare was groundless,
and was due in large measure to
specula'i i've manipulation, partly from
this side. Prominent features of the
market have been the manifestation of
hesitancy on the part of the
public railroad bonds showed a
downward tendency Business was
comparatively small outside of
Texas Pacific, Erie, West Shore,
Oregon. Canada Southern, Denver &
Rio Grande, Fort Worth, Denver and
Hooking Valley. The issues of govern
ment bonds missed within the narrow
range of quotations, on the whole were
steady to firm. The condition of the
market is such that it responds readily
to the demand for, and supply of, any
considerable amounts. Foreign eX-
changes were strong almost throughout.
The demand has been more than usu-
ally important. The money market on
the other hand was in an easier condi-
ton than for some time past. Very
little business in call loans was done
above per cent, and as the week wore
along 4 per cent. became the general
rate, with an exception down to per
cent.

F0RTY-NINTH CONGRESS.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON January % The Senate
bill to amend the law establishing Vel
lowstone Park, which under dis
cussion yesterday. was :. up.
Van Wyck inquired whether the bill
proposed to alter the dimensions of the
Park.
Henderson replied that the limits
were extended on the east and west,
but were diminished by TWO miles on
the north.
Van WICK intimated that the object
of changing tue northern limit was to
allow railroad to pass through those
Two miles. am that would be dangerous
to the Park.
Henderson explained the proposition
as being one to cnange and define more
clearly the limits of the Park. 1t had
nothing whatever to do with the build
ing of a railroad.
On motion of Hoar, the Yellowstone
Park bill was amended by inserting a
provision for an appeal to the district
court of Wyoming Territory in cases of

ney bill was again taken up so as to be
unfinished business for next Monday.

A Clerks Story,

when used to tend store the old
man came aroun', and says he, Boys,
the one who sells the most between
now and Christmas gets a vest pattern
as q present. Maybe we didn't WORK
for the vest pattern. tell you there
were some pretty tall stories told in
praise of goods about that time; but
the tallest talker and the fellow who
had the most cheek of any of us, was a
certain Jonah CURES who roomed with
me. He could talk q dollar out of a
mans pocket when he only intended 10
spend six peace; and the .women-they
lust passed him their pocket-books to
lay out as hepieased. One night Jonah
woke up with, by JoYe, old fellow. if
you think that 'ere's got cotton in it
| II bring you down the sheep it was cut
from and make him own his own wool.
Won't wear out, either; wore a pair of
pants OF that stuff for five years, and
they are as good as when l first put
them on. Take it at thirty cents and I
willsay you don't owe me anything.
Eh-too dear? Well, cslllit twenty EIGHT
cents. What dye say? All right. It's
a bargain could feel Jonah's hands
PLAYING about the bedclothes; then rip
went something or other, and hid my
head under the blankets, conyulsed
with laughter, and perfectly sure that
Jonah had torn the best sheet from top
to bottom. When l aWoke the next
morning found my nightshirt split
from the bottom to the collar-band. p

WILL HE RESIGN?
A Rumor that Manning is to Become
President of q Bank

WASHINGTON, January 90 Secretary
Manning's attention was to- day called
to the published statements that he ex-
poets shortly to resign from the Treas
ury to become president of bank in
New York; an expression was invited
from him upon the subject, because of
its great public interest. The Secretary
replied that he had not been offered
the presidency of any such bank. The
fact that several of Manning's friends
are among the organizers Of the pro-
posed new bank, and that very
large number of heavy subscriptions for
stock have been made, contingent on
Msnning's becoming president of it.
gives color to the rumors that he IS to
resign his place in the Cabinet in order
to become manager OF the enterprise.

PROBABILITIES.
Opposition to the Clause Making
y" Caleb King.

WASHINGTON. January 24.-The sup
porters of the Anti-Mormon Bill are
anxious as to its fate. The Conference
Committee has not yet reported to the
Senate, and it is discovered that there
is a great deal of opposition there to the
amendments which were added in the
House. That to which themoseobjections
are made is the one which confers upon
the Governor of the Territory the power
to appoint all municipal Territorial
officers. This, it is said, will give him
the appointment of 2,400 officers. Mr..
Morgan is said to oe especially opposed
to this provision. Mr.. Edmunds, who
has charge of the bill in the Seuate,
tells its friends that they need have no
concern about it, as it will be agreed to.
One reason for the delay in the Con-
ference Committee is that Mr.. Collins,
of Massachusetts,, one of the confreres,
has been i'll but he is now well again,
and it is expected that there will be a
conference meeting this week. If the
bill shall reach the President, there
will be determined effort to defeat it
there. The President has not given any
indication of his purpose Post.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

Fire broke out this afternoon on
Cromwell Line pier No. 8, North Rivers
and its contents were destroyed. The
steamers of this line ply between New
York and New Orleans. When the
engines, summoned by three alarms of
fire got 10 the scene, the whole pier was
a mass of flames. Alongside the pier
lay the steamer L0uiSinnI. which was
just ready to sail and on her deck were
passengers waving their adieus to their
friends on the shore.
On the other side of the dock was the
steamer NetG Orleans. Both vessels were
towed out to mid-stream. The passen-
gers on the Louisiana were taken off by
the police officers, who are protecting
the nOn-union worKren. The vessels
upper works were in flames while the
passengers were being passed down the
side. The Louisiana was towed out
into the stream, and the flames extin-
guished. 1t was reported that the fire
WAS STARTED BY THE STRIKERS,
but the police deny this. The police
estimate the damage, all told, at about
$50 900, fully insured. The cause of the
fire is not known.
